📡 YouTube TV and ESPN/ABC are officially on a break... [Update: Deal reached, all is good again]

This has ended up being the best weekend in sports history. I knew it would be. Had this blackout bullshit not happened, every game would have been a dud

I bought the Sling One Day Pass ($5.99). The picture quality doesn't seem as good, but it will do in a pinch. I'll do the same thing next week if I have to.

Thay have a lot of really good players and they are not a bad team. Also, this is the new SEC. For the most part, easy wins are a thing of the past. Would serve some well to reprogram themselves to that reality, as it will (and has) impact Bama too. Otherwise one will simply reside in a land of frustration every fall Saturday.

I am stubborn so I guess I willl stay frustrated .... I get that the talent pool is being spread out and that makes a difference so I will accept it to a point. The line I draw is loss to Vandy. Really does not matter they oobviolsy better and have been the last two years with their QB.

As long as you realize what you are saying. A loss, over a year ago, and that's the focal point today.

We all have different viewpoints and it's not a big deal in my book. But, the joy some intentionally sap out of a season is confounding.

Nothing is sapped from me. I have enjoyed many Bama championships and will do so again. I did during CNS's tenure even after a loss to LA Tech loss and I will enjoy more in the future post Vandy. So pointing out where the line is drawn does not end there.

That's confounding as well. What's the point of drawing the line if it doesn't end there?

These one way streets with people going both directions...IF a team wins a title one year, it's "forget that team. This is a new one." Versus, "let's look back at this loss, or that one, with this years team."

Dont think CNS lost to LaTech....LaMonroe yes...
Bama lost to LaTech but not under CNS...
Just minor correction...

That was a crazy year. I may remember more about that fall than any other because there were so many bizarre things happening from football to life in general. We had a BIG crash on TOS that fall.

Vandy was PPV that year if I remember that right...had to be some reason for me to be watching football in a bar, week one.

How intelligent is AI, really? Just for shits and giggles, I Googled "have YouTube TV and Disney reached a deal?" and the AI response was "yes. Disney and YouTube TV have reached a deal and it effectively ends the blackout that began on October 31, 2025". AI don't know SHIT

 

[TerryP]
